lexalove Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 New member of the 69Modz family... I'm calling this one The "Stubby" Hammond 1550P, FDV 510 and Keystone battery sled... all very heavily modified to cram it all in!It's not the 'Final' design, it has some rough edges but as a beta I don't think it come out too bad.

Durty D Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hello All. First post here. Just an amazing amount of inspiration in this thread! I have a couple of boards on the way and am very much looking forward to building them up. Going simple at first but planning on making custom wood boxes if all goes well. I have a fantastic supply of wood from my partner's slab wood and furniture business and look forward to taking advantage of that. Great work in this thread.

Seigfried Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Finished mine the other day. Finally getting around to posting. Ran into a couple minor glitches. I learned a lot about building Mods on this one unlike the sx350 I built last year. I call it the VIN ( vape it now ) version 2. I was planning to try larger batteries in it if needed but will have to move the 510 connection to do so. That will likely be the version 3. Eventually I will build a permanent case for it. I am still working on the design and getting the tools. needed to clean my lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awsum140 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I like the extension of the ribbon cable for the screen and the six wire plug on the switch connections. That makes it very serviceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seigfried Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Thanks, wanted to get the cover with the switches out of the way while working on it. Mounting the screen on the bottom was easier than trying to align it to the switch cover. Also, the screen doesn't shine in your face during use.

lewisss Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 My first attempt at a mod! I have had three temp control mods, Evic vt ( kept jumping out of tc mode) Ipv4s good on titanium with 100 joules but 50 joules on nickel not enough) And finally cigar vt200. I was so impressed with the chip, but dissapointed with the battery life (about 8 hours) So I thought I would make one that I can use all day without running out of charge, and also one that can take a lot of abuse, (I am a builder, so it needs to be able to withstand some rough treatment and a fair share of knocks!) Battery analyser has returned 23.79 compared to 24.42 it should be for a 2200 mah battery so quite happy with that. At the end of my work day I still have 45% battery life and with some quite heavy vaping in the evening normally ends up with about 20% Not the prettiest, smallest or lightest .................. But nor am I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alee132 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Podunk Steam said:They didn't do too bad with these. I'm fairly impressed and that doesn't happen easily with me. I really liked this better than any of the pre built mods and I love how the battery can be pulled off. But I would be using a external lipo charger that works off of the power off the battery not the balance charger as they cannot have much amperage going through the battery balancer. Lipo chargers need that only for battery info really. Also I want to see what it looks like inside the battery compartment. Such as what kinda battery and if I can put something better in it. Also would love to see them make the switch less ugly. Honestly the switch having those strange cuts makes it bad enough I won't get it. I guess I could pull it off and file it down to make it look like regular switch. I just don't understand why they made the switch look so bad... That is the one thing that killed this mod for me.

Podunk Steam Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Also I want to see what it looks like inside the battery compartment. Such as what kinda battery and if I can put something better in it. A Fullymax rewrap from what I understand but this is hear say. I looked at the fire button similar at first but it doesn't really bother me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapgood Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 All Evolv reference mods. Cerakoted cobalt and tungsten. One is different than the others. Who knows what the difference is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podunk Steam Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Okay I'll bite, you made the different looking 510 connector on the one? I like the engineering of the Evolv 510 connectors, I just can't over the look though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podunk Steam Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Scoopy let the cat out of the bag? 3D printed?The files aren't all that hard to put into a 3D print friendly format, I have unaltered untested print files on Sculpteos.

scoopy Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Them don't look 3d printed though I guess they could be... I have a 3d printed reference mod though it's the bigger one and I have an actual aluminium evolv made one ......I'm asking advice on how to get a good paint job to look like his......because I'm not thinking they are printed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to:- Mask out the button holes so the buttons fit.- I use my lathe to take just a little bit off the OD of the 510.- And be careful not to get too much of the coating on the backside of the halves where the two halves interlock.I'm pretty sure powder coating would be too thick. I also think a typical rattle can paint job would also be too thick. Anodizing would probably be ok....but would require more masking than the Ceracoat.

scoopy Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 The difference looks like they forgot to countersink the holes around the 510 maybe I don't know lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podunk Steam Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 If you're worried about the thickness of the coating a true hot bluing may look nice or parkerizing would be a means of a thin coating as well. The parkerizing is similar to anodizing and is used on firearms, one of the more durable firearms finishes in my opinion. Both process through a professional application involve some tooling and chemicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
